## Description

> Description of the feature request.

This RFC proposes to add a "functional" equivalent of [`Array.prototype.copyWithin`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/copyWithin) and [`TypedArray.prototype.copyWithin`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypedArray/copyWithin).

Package: `@stdlib/utils/copy-within`
Alias: `copyWithin`

The interface would be as follows:

```javascript
/**
* @param {Collection} collection - input collection
* @param {integer} target - target index
* @param {integer} [start=0] - source start index
* @param {integer} [end=collection.length] - source end index
* @returns {Collection} modified input collection
*/
function copyWithin( collection, target ) {
if ( !isCollection( collection ) ) {
throw new TypeError( '...' );
}
// implementation...
}
```
If a provided `collection` has a built-in `copyWithin` method, the implementation would defer to that method. Otherwise, the implementation would provide a "polyfill", thus extending `copyWithin` support to environments lacking the built-in API for `Array` and `TypedArray`.
